This week’s new downloadable games for Nintendo systems invite you to “have a blast” in more ways than one. Heavy Fire: Black Arms for the WiiWare™ service puts players at the center of an explosive, action-filled adventure as they take on the role of a Special Forces recruit. On the Virtual Console™ service, Bomberman Hero lets Wii™ owners enjoy classic and combustible fun from the Nintendo 64™ era. New arrivals for the Nintendo DSiWare™ service include GO Series EARTH SAVER, which challenges players to blast apart a deadly meteorite that threatens all of humanity. And if your taste runs beyond pyrotechnics, you’ll also find soccer, gymnastics and squishy driving action in this week’s lively mix of downloads.

Here we are at the end of the road. The last Nintendo system in my collection is the Wii. This time around, I bought many of the major titles released on the system. Metroid: Other M, Donkey Kong Country Returns, and the Super Mario Galaxy games are among the list of titles that I’ve added to my purchased.

I obtained a Wii in 2008, which was, as most of you know, a few years after the system had launched. At the time I only owned a few games. A lot of them were terrible, admittedly. But the highlights were Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Brawl, like Melee, was a massive time sink for me. I used to hold small tournaments and parties focusing on the game. Despite the fact that I greatly enjoyed the title, I personally believe that it still doesn’t compare to Melee, my favorite of the series.

Even though two full months in 2011 have passed, there really aren’t any Wii games to look forward to that have been announced by Nintendo of America. We know Skyward Sword will be released sometime this year… but what else? Well, we’re still not sure, but more software is definitely coming.

IGN’s Rich George, who participated in the latest Game Scoop podcast, briefly discussed a recent conversation he had with Reggie Fils-Aime. Basically, Nintendo of America’s COO said that more Wii games are on the way. Reggie’s full response is expected to be posted on IGN sometime within the next few days.

This year, Nintendo has only launched Mario Sports Mix for Wii, and have yet to announce additional software for the console. A couple of titles could be revealed through a simple press release, although the heavy hitters will most likely be saved for E3. It’s possible that Nintendo will localize two well-received RPGs for the system – Xenoblade and The Last Story – and/or release the new Kirby Wii title before 2011 ends. It’s likely that the company has a few secret titles in the works as well.

Most of Retro’s GDC panel yesterday focused on Donkey Kong Country Returns, but there are some other neat nuggets included below as well!

– Retro Studios looked at Wario Land on Virtual Boy
– The team specifically looked at the separated platforming planes in which Wario could switch between background and foreground
– Dev. team would sometimes make something that resembled Metroid too much
– Many initial designs were scrapped since Donkey Kong Country Returns needed to be “fun and whimsical”
– Kensuke Tanabe: “We wanted to depend on Retro to make games we couldn’t [in Japan].”
– Wave level took very long to program
– Retro refers to Shigeru Miyamoto as “Master Yoda”
– Miyamoto told Retro: “Donkey Kong is my baby and you better get it right!”
– Super Guide feature was used to test and record bugs
– A bunch of bugs resulted from players running back to the left instead of always to the right
– Michael Kelbaugh joke: “We were going to make an addition to the manual that said ‘Don’t go left.'”
– Iwata told Retro: “I am looking forward to playing this product with my family and having fun”
– Retro checked back in with Retro following the game’s release and Iwata said his wish came true
– After simply running back and forth for ten minutes and watching the animations of Donkey Kong turning around, Shigeru Miyamoto told Retro that it seemed like Donkey Kong was “blowing” when he created dust clouds
– “Blow” mechanic was born from the off-handed remark above
– Retro still needed to make around 70 more levels after E3
– Retro joked that the next Nintendo classic they’d like to revive is Doki Doki Panic
– Retro also joked around by saying they’d like to make Pokemon Prime or work with Tingle
